Com' esce fuor sua dolce humil favella by Andrea Rota — Lyrics
Com' esce fuor sua dolce humil favella
Tra le rose vermiglie e tra i sospiri,
Che fan, come aura suol, che lieve spiri,
La fiamma del mio cor più viva e bella,
Amor ne' miei pensier così favella:
Accendi, fedel mio, tutti i desiri
Nelle sue ardenti note, e con martiri,
Cangia la cara libertà novella.

About Com' esce fuor sua dolce humil favella
Andrea Rota's secular madrigal, Com' esce fuor sua dolce humil favella, is set for SSATB voices in Italian. The text, drawn from Giovanni Guidiccioni, paints a picture of love's gentle speech and its effect on the heart. The poet describes how tender words, like a soft breeze, ignite the flame of his heart, making it more alive and beautiful. Love then urges the faithful heart to kindle all desires, even through pain, transforming newfound liberty. The poem reflects on the contrast between human thought and the compassion that gathers noble words, and the heart that, resisting death, tempers ardent passion through sighs.
